To all incoming freshmen here at Bloomsburg who are going into education, there are some things you may need to know about what writing you will have to create. In this major you will be doing many different types of writing, but they mainly focus on who you are as a person. Being in the educational field, you have to be able to work with children and the other people around you. Here at BU, the teachers help you figure out how to connect with yourself as well as others in your own writing. You complete opinion essays and are really able to express your personal feelings towards things. On an average day, you will find that creative and free writing helps dramatically in evolving as a future teacher. It gets all your thoughts out on the table. These creative thoughts help in the long run because you will be able to write lesson plans for your students. I interviewed Lauren DeMatteo, who is an English teacher at my high school. She graduated with an Education major with a concentration in English. During high school, I was able to have Ms. DeMatteo three different times, two for English and she also taught Journalism. Having her as a teacher really helped me realize that I love writing. She made us, the students, interested in English and let us write freely as we please. While interviewing Ms. DeMatteo, she told me that she mainly writes expository, persuasive, analytical, research, and creative. As a teacher, she told me she does things more hands on in her classroom and her writing is more for her own pleasure. In college, I am currently experiencing that. All my teachers seem to have me write my own opinions on things. They are not very concerned about strict grammar. Ms. DeMatteo and I were talking and she told me her favorite article was "Multicultural Counseling: A Call to the Profession." I was very interested in this article. It pretty much talked about how all people, no matter what race or social status you are, deserve an education. She told me that she believes multicultural considerations are not taken into account in the education field and it is very important area of research that needs to be incorporated regardless of the demographic you're teaching. At Bloomsburg I have learned a lot about how to reach out to different demographics and how to make sure everyone in the classroom understands the information being given. To do this I may have to change lesson plans for different students to accommodate every one. Although every student will go through those certain classes where a research essay is mandatory and the grading is strict, for the most part writing can be seen as a positive thing. While talking to Ms. DeMateo I learned that being in an education major lets you think outside of the box and have your own personal opinions on things. I am able to write what I feel is necessary while also following the teacher’s guidelines. Times may get tough, but Ms. DeMatteo told me writing down your thoughts before hard assignments can really make it much easier to get through college. I learned a lot from talking to Lauren DeMatteo. She made me realize that writing can help me dramatically in the educational profession. It does not have to be just essays though, it can be writing for myself that can help me grow. Writing every day in a journal can help me become a stronger writer. Although I have to know the boundaries between professional writing and creative writing, I know I can find ways to enjoy and learn from it.
